Amuse Pursuits 3

One by one
They come and go;
Bus-stop blues


On the way out,
Smile as you go;
Embrace forgetfulness


Surge of passion
No need to feel;
Go with the flow


Bedtime stories
We swop tales;
Laugh stomach cramps


Basketball court,
Two sides stalking;
Win-win losing


Cable TV
So much to see;
Time fritters away


Hypermart queue
Long as usual;
Impatient sighs


I see you,
You see me;
No need to talk


Roadside beggar
Asks politely:
Please help me


Alleyway music
Lone troubadour;
Straining guitar chords


By and by,
How and when;
Nobody stops
